I have a 2025 Porsche Taycan, MSRP around $130k. It’s a 24-month lease through Porsche Financial, and I’ve already made 6 payments. The lease is 7,500 miles per year.
Payment is around $1,200/month and it includes full tire and wheel protection for the entire lease, which is a pretty nice perk.
My situation changed a bit — I picked up another car and with my daily commute, I don’t really use the Taycan anymore. It mostly just sits.
Trying to figure out what makes the most sense here:
Should I just return it to Porsche, or is it realistic to find someone to take over the lease on these terms?
Would love to hear from anyone who’s been through something similar, especially with Porsche Financial.
It doesn’t hurt to list it for transfer though at your payment, I’d recommend Swapalease. Maybe see if you can cancel the protection package to help reduce the payment.
If you turn it into Porsche early, I imagine like most leases, you are on the hook for the remaining payments unless they offer you a much lower termination option.
But so you know, PFS only allows two applications; if both applicants fail, then you’re SOL. Look up previous Porsche transfers on LH and you’ll see how difficult it is to find/screen applicants till leases are successfully transferred. Not saying it’s impossible; just a lot of upfront legwork needed.
And if you do want to terminate the lease early, it’d be best for you to see what the early termination conditions are in your contract. Good luck
